New York 1986, released to celebrate the centenary of the Statue of Liberty.

Florida 80s

Briefly changed to Red text in the mid 80s

California 82-87. I know a lot of people love the "lipstick" plate, but the 80s Sunset plate is my favorite califorina tag

Out of the U.S, I quite like the French ones from the late 80s early 90s. Silver letters, black background. In the 90s I had a black 16v Golf Gti, (UK car with ugly yellow UK plates) and I got a set of the french black ones to go on the car. Looked good.

Also there was talk from Epoxi in the old topic along the same lines, about the old UK plates that used to be black/silver.

I wish the UK standard was the classic silver-on-black plate.

In my opinion, yellow number plates really ruin the rear of any car. Also the fact UK plates are typically composed of cheap flat plastic as opposed to embossed aluminium (like the rest of the world) looks tacky to me.

Malaysian license plates still look a lot like this, My dad has some on his S-Class. Its Black and looks great with the plack plates.
